"Just because you say I can’t, does that mean I can’t?" Tong Mo was not pleased hearing someone curse her like that and she gave a disdainful look, scoffing, "Besides, even if I can’t, you’ll be even less likely to succeed!"
In terms of acting skills, Tong Nian was far inferior to herself.
If she couldn’t get selected, then Tong Nian stood even less of a chance.
The naive Tong Mo had completely forgotten about the possibility of pulling strings to get ahead.
"We’ll see about that." Tong Nian didn’t outright deny her words but smirked sarcastically.
"Get lost, don’t be an eyesore in front of me." Tong Mo was too lazy to exchange another word with her.
"You!" Tong Nian was infuriated by her arrogance.
"Xiaonian, your sister is really full of herself!" The girl who had just witnessed Tong Mo’s indifferent attitude couldn’t help but complain.
"It’s okay, I’m used to it." In an attempt to create a congenial image, Tong Nian quickly pretended to be very upset, took a breath, and tried hard to show that she didn’t care.
Her female classmate’s sympathy for her immediately grew.
Tong Mo was utterly disgusted by her pretentious innocent act.
Just as Tong Mo was feeling sick to her stomach, an assistant-looking person walked out from inside the room.
As the voice fell, everyone looked around at each other, wanting to see who this next person was.
Tong Mo walked over calmly.
Despite her seemingly composed appearance, deep down she was extremely anxious.
Though she had acted when she was a child, this was her first time ever at an open casting.
With nervousness, Tong Mo entered the audition room.
At the same time, another person entered the backstage area of the room.
It was a mature and irresistibly charming man.
He exuded an imperious presence like a monarch looking down upon the world.
The main and assistant directors, along with everyone else present, quickly stood up and greeted the newcomer with a fawning smile, "Viscount Li, what brings you here?"
"Just taking a casual look," Li Zijue replied indifferently.
Actually, he was here to see how his little girl was doing.
Just taking a casual look?
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but inwardly groan.
Who didn’t know how busy Viscount Li was, and that he wouldn’t possibly have time to just drop by their minor production for a casual look?
At this moment, the producer who was following Li Zijue quickly spoke up, "Don’t just stand there gawking, Viscount Li is our biggest investor now!"
At the mention of that title, everyone immediately felt even more speechless.
In their hearts, they all thought the same thing: had Viscount Li gone mad to invest in their small web series production?
The producer, unconcerned with what they were thinking, immediately began to grovel and gestured for Li Zijue to take a seat, "Viscount Li, please take a seat."
My goodness, to have Viscount Li invest in their little web series—they had better serve him well at this moment.
"Hmm," Li Zijue nodded indifferently.
Just as he sat down, the door also opened.
The little girl walked in with a hint of nervousness.
Tong Mo silently swallowed her saliva, then made an effort to remain composed and raised her head.
The little girl had never imagined that Li Zijue would be here as well.
Instantly, her clear eyes went wide, filled with disbelief.
But soon Tong Mo remembered something and suddenly it all became clear to her.
So the "surprise" the man had mentioned was referring to this!?
While she was thinking this, Li Zijue suddenly gave her a suggestive wink, as if to say "That’s right."
